•    Prior experience with Feldenkrais lessons
•    Description of hobbies and interests
•    Health status
•    Two letters of recommendation—including one from a Feldenkrais practitioner

Besides completing the application process you need to attend one of the upcoming introductory workshops in Amsterdam. The remaining workshops are occuring on Sunday, 26 May, and Saturday, 30 June. If you cannot attend one these workshop. then we will make arrangements for an in-person or online interview.
 
Given our interest in having a diverse group of trainees, applicants will be selected from a wide variety of backgrounds. We screen applicants according to our evaluation of their interest in the Feldenkrais Method as a profession. We will also evaluate the contributions they can potentially make to the practice and development of the Feldenkrais method. We are committed to accepting people into the AIFTT regardless of race, gender, religion, physical limitation, age, or sexual orientation.

After submitting an application to the AIFTT, you can expect to receive a response within two to three weeks. If accepted into the program, you will receive orientation information along with a Trainee Enrollment Agreement. The agreement is the contract that specifies your rights and responsibilities as a participant in the program. You will be asked to sign the contract and return it, within thirty days of notification, along with your Tuition Down Payment to reserve your place in the training.

To apply, please complete and submit the application form—along with your two letters of recommendation and the non-refundable €85,00 Application Fee.

We review applications on an as-received basis. Please note that your AIFTT IV application will not be reviewed until your Application Fee is received.
